Day 13 "Grace Has Brought You Peace"
Perfect Peace
Good Morning Beauties!
Are you enjoying our look at “JOY” this week? I love thinking about joy and taking time to recall all the things in my life that make me feel joyful. How about you? What can you be joyful about today? Selah.
In my reflection, I always come to God’s gift of grace as one of the greatest things to bring me joy, but also peace. Ephesians 2:8-9 says, “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast.” (NIV)
To know that God’s gift of Jesus leads to my salvation, not striving to be “good enough” to earn it, brings peace. I love what Jesus says in John 14:27, “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.” (NIV)
God changed my view of peace this morning by that last little bit - “instead, be courageous!” My idea of peace has always been a kind of rest. Resting from fear, doubt, striving. I think it’s still all those things, but it also brings a confidence that leads to courage. Love it!
What is the Spirit sharing about His grace and peace to you today? Anything new? There are so many beautiful scriptures about both, find time today to find your favorites. Selah.
